View Full Version : Re-encoding files to reduce DVD size

Hi, I'm frequently running into the problem of being 10 - 50 MB too large to fit on a DVD-R. While that problem is a whole other story, my question is this:

If, after a 3 pass vbr encoding, you wish to re-encode from the original, can you just do a single pass VBR, and it will use the .VAF file that CCE created the first time the file was encoded?

It's killing me to run first and second robshot passes, when the .vaf already exists.

I think I can, but can't find this information on the site.
Thanks!

The answer to your question is yes. Just select the proper file.

You might want to try the D2Sroba (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64886) plugin for DVD2SVCD. It automates the Robshot method.
